Storage and convenience
— Never secure a child safety seat to the tie-
downs.
—Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially if the luggage compartment lid is
open. Children could enter the luggage com-
partment and close the luggage compart-
ment lid from the inside. This creates the
risk of fatal injury, since the children would
be locked inside and may not be able to es-
cape by themselves.
— Do not allow children to play in or on the ve-
cle. Close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid as well as all other doors when you
leave the vehicle.
— Never transport passengers in the luggage
compartment. Every passenger must be cor-
rectly secured with the safety belts in the
vehicle > page 69.
—Be careful when releasing the backrest and
folding it forward. To reduce the risk of be-
ing pinched, pay attention and check when
folding backrests forward.
~The backrest must be securely latched so
objects cannot slide forward out of the lug-
gage compartment during sudden braking.
~The backrest must be latched securely to en-
sure that the safety belt is protecting the
center seating position.
— Always pull forward on the backrest to make
sure it is correctly locked in place.
~ If the safety belt becomes caught when fold-
ing the backrest back, then fold the backrest
forward again and release the safety belt.
Hold the safety belt with one hand and fold
the backrest back carefully.
—For stability reasons, the bag hooks* can
hold a maximum weight of 6.6 lbs (3 ka).
Heavier objects are not adequately secured.
There is risk of personal injury.
~To reduce the risk of damage, move the rear
head restraints down page 68 before
folding the rear backrests forward.
—When folding the backrest forward, make
sure the outer safety belts are in the belt
guide recess so that they do not get pinched
in the backrest lock and damaged. Other ob-
jects should be removed from the rear
bench seat to protect the backrest from
damage.
— IF you move the front seat back when the
rear seat backrest is folded forward, you
could damage the head restraints on the
rear seat.
~Make sure that the heating grid strips for
the rear window defogger are not damaged
by abrasive objects.
~The tire pressure must be adapted to the
load > page 266.
—You can purchase straps at specialty stores.
